"you miss me bossing you around?" It made her glad, and for once Snaeha did not care to try and conceal this fact. Their relationship had gone far beyond subtlety, and should it develop further there would be no room for embarrassment or shyness.
Kalinor was always a quiet city, but - ignoring those screams - it seemed even more still and silent at night. It was exciting, almost arousing, for Snaeha to be out at night when she knew of her kind slept in the safety of their homes. There was nowhere for them to go, but walking around Kalinor at night was perfectly interesting enough for the redhead. With each empty silken street, the emptiness of the city became all the more apparent, the silence more palpable. Those screams, which had terrified Snaeha earlier, seemed less intimidating with the Zith beside her.
"Nobodies around." She confirmed aloud, to herself as much as to Aranta. Yes, it was a stirring thought to imagine what the two could get up to in the middle of the underground city.
